A real life interview of a person living in the 60s
I need to interview somebody who was born between 1945 and 1953 to find out what was going on in his or her life at the time of the following events:
-The Civil Rights March on Washington, where Martin Luther King, Jr., delivered his "I have a dream speech" (August, 1963)
-The JFK Assassination (Nov, 1963)
-The Beatles appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show (Feb, 1904)
-The TET Offensive in Vietnam (Feb, 1968)
-The first landing og a man on the moon (July, 1969)
-The Woodstock Music and Art Festival (August, 1969)
-The Kent State protest and shootings (May, 1970)
During the 1960s, to what extent did that person support or oppose American involvement in the Vietnam War? For what reasons did you hold that position?
In order to be able to finish my assignment I need to be able to answer these questions about that person:
When and where he/she was born?
What is his/her education background? Did he/she attend college in the 1960s? Does he/she hold a college degree? What kind of work does he/she do today? Did he/she involve in the antiwar and hippie movements of the 1960s?
In what ways he/she connected to above events?
Where had he/she stood regarding American involvement in the Vietnam war? What reasons did he/she give for their position?
Explain in three ways in which he/she is connected with the 1960s (however, from you information I can do this part myself).

I have some recollection of adults discussing it but I do not recall it being discussed in class at school. I was attending a private catholic all girl's school at the time.
